The Top 5 Books I Need to Read in 2016

I know, I know. I
should have gotten all of this posted before 2016 even started, but I didn’t.
So there.

For this post, I
will simply be giving you exactly what the title says: The Top 5 Books I Need
to Read in 2016. Now, these aren’t 2016 releases; they’re just books I have
owned for a while that I need to finally
read.

Some of these I’ve owned for over a full year and I still haven’t read
them. *sigh* There’s just not enough time in the day.

I’ve read all of
Rainbow Rowell’s other books, except for this one. For some reason, this
frustrates me. I’m pretty sure I’ll enjoy Landline
once I get on it. I mean, I don’t think it will be my favorite book of the
year, but I think it will be entertaining. Although, I’m not sure I’ll be able
to relate to the characters that much since they’re supposed to be older and
married.

I see this book
everywhere! And everyone says how much they love Brandon Sanderson. Now that I’ve
bought the entire trilogy, I need to actually read it. I tried it one day, but
I only got about twenty or so pages in before I had to stop. I had too much
going on to read at the time, but I will
read this book in 2016.

I’ve had this book
for a very long time. I think I’ve had it since it came out a few years ago.
Ugh. I know I’ll enjoy it, so I’m not sure why I’ve put it off. Maybe because I’ll
have to buy the sequel once I do and I’m trying to scale down the book-buying?
That’s a terrible excuse. I’ll just go hang my head in shame now.

I actually haven’t
owned Revealed for very long. That’s
why I haven’t read Redeemed yet,
though. I bought Redeemed for cheap
on Book Outlet, but it took me forever to find Revealed, the 11th book in the House of Night series, for cheap. I just didn’t want to buy it for
more than $10. Thankfully, my local used bookstore got a copy in so I didn’t
have to.

As soon as I read
these two books, this series will be COMPLETE. It feels like I’ve been reading
these books for my entire life. It’s such a ridiculously long series.

I want to finish
this series. I’ve had it on my shelves for too long and I’m beginning to forget
what happened in the first book. Is there a site that has summed up what
happened in Partials? If so, I would
be forever grateful. I know I enjoyed the first book, I just haven’t had the
desire to pick up the last two books and I really don’t know why. But that will change this year.

***

Well, there you
have it. Those are the books I need to pick up and finish this year. What books
do you need to cross off your TBR list in 2016?

Ahhh Landline! I read that one last year and absolutely adored it. I don't read Adult books often, but there's just something about Rainbow Rowell that made me read it. I also want to read Mistborn this year! I received the whole trilogy for Christmas so I'm hoping to binge-read it. I've heard nothing but amazing things!
